luasocket.c:20:17: error: lua.h: No such file or directory
c, lua, luasocket
Solution
You will need to set `LUAINC`.
Since you didn't specify which OS you are using, I can't give you a definitive answer what to set it to. On Debian, if you want to build for Lua5.1, set it to `-I/usr/include/lua5.1/`
You can set the variable by editing `config` (which is included from `makefile`) or by specifying it on the command line:
$ make LUAINC=-I/usr/include/lua5.1/
